5* Star Dive Centre IN CAPE TOWN ON TRIPADVISOR TOURS

”Lovely service, great scenery, well-knowledged staff and friendly pilots. This was my first helicopter flight, over and above enjoying the overall experience, the pilot was kind enough to entertain my many questions on Helicopters, prices, maintenance. The staff also assisted us under short notice which is commendable.

”Our weather here has been superb, even for Cape Town in the winter! So my wife and I decided (rather I) to schedule a flight. We were not disappointed in the least. Cape Town Heli flys an extremely modern fleet headlined by an Airbus masterfully flown by Capt Lisa. She was professional, warm and informative. These are the folks to fly with in the Cape.” - Michelle Basson

”A fantastic experience we would recommend to everyone, couples or families. They were quick and efficient with the booking our email. Really friendly when we got them and went above and beyond for your honeymoon! Our pilot gave us a full guided flight and was brilliant with us. Thank you again, guys!” - Kevin

It was the most amazing experience and all the better for having the expertise of Jacques and John making us feel safe. Thank you! Would thoroughly recommend!” - John

”The tour was excellent. Spectacular views over the mountain range. The visit in a native village was really interesting. We also visited the highest point from where we had nice views. The lunch in the highest pub in Afrika was good and the location of the pub was amazing.
” - Mac

”We were reluctant to use the Hop On Hop Off Bus in Cape Town but found it to be very well run, on time schedules and access to everything you must see in Cape Town. What a bargain and so easy to use. We got the two day ticket that included the harbor cruise. We used it both days and enjoyed it very much.” - John

”I prefer to take city bike tours in each city and the Cape Town was a great experience. Our guide Danielle really was knowledgeable on the history and landmarks of the city. We went from the city center, to residential streets, to parks and then a bike ride on the ocean walk. Would recommend if you feel comfortable riding up some hills and in traffic areas. ” - Herman

”I had never tried surfing before and the instructor, Marcos i believe, went through everything we needed to know in very easy simple steps. After that, we went into the water and i can say i was STOKED none the less!! Incredible experience!” - Yoyo

”Mzu Lembeni runs a township tour that is truly outstanding. He himself lives in Khayelitsha and is a small businessman committed to giving back to the townships. We did a half-day tour with him, touring Khayelitsha and Langa, and saw both the abject poverty and the emerging middle class. We even got a lesson in isiXhosa language.” - MSB1107

”The helicopter flight with Cape Town Helicopters was a birthday gift from friends, who booked the flight one year before. We had the 20 min trip around the table mountain and had exclusive use.
Lisa was our pilot, and she was very smart and handsome, but also very professional and experienced despite her young age.
Although my wife has fear of flying, she also enjoyed the flight very much due to the very smooth and stressless conditions in the helicopter. The view of Cape Town and the table mountain from the sky was a real highlight and of one of the best things we ever did! 5 stars” - Christian D

”We booked the two oceans flight for 2 people with my wife sitting in the front seat. The views outside were great as it was clear day. Our pilot was providing running commentary on the city and surroundings which was helpful and informative. I thought that a smaller flying route was taken compared to what was advertised but the flight time was the same. We did not pay extra for the exclusive flight or in blocking the Airbus helicopter, but we were still the only ones in the helicopter (on a Sunday morning 11:30 flight).” - Yash G

Just the boat ride to the destination was a fun adventure in itself — fast, beautiful, and full of sea life sightings. The snorkeling was easy and fun and the seals were plentiful and playful, swimming all around us and coming right with a couple swimming right up to our masks for a moment. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend to anyone!!” - biggreenchris

”I recently completed my free diving course with Ocean Experiences and would highly suggest it as you learn how dangerous free diving can be if you are not aware of the risks, your limits and techniques involved. It was incredibly interesting and once the principles and techniques are understood and practiced, the practical side is so rewarding and anyone can do it! I would definitely suggest Adrenalized as the instructors are amazing, great equipment and have stock available (as well as a online store) to get you set up once you get into it. They also offer free dive trips around Cape Town which are fantastic and a great way to keep your fitness up after the course. Thank you for a great experience!” - Megzican

”This dive shop has safety as its top priority! Carla and team are very focused on their customers.
They checked for my card and answered all my questions as to how they run a dive. The safety briefing was very thorough. When we got to the dive site, Jacques made sure we descended slowly to clear ears. After swimming around at 20 feet or so, he checked with us before going a bit deeper.
They are studying seal behavior - and have found ways to interact such that divers can enjoy the seals.
They have all the equipment you might need and will work with you on fitting it as needed.
They also run scuba trips for all ages.
You can reserve a dive time online. They are very quick to respond to e-mail inquiries.
Great job!” - Anne L

”Great professional team devoted to making the most of your experience. Equipment in perfect condition, briefing clear and complete, guides always careful, helpful, friendly and professional. Absolutely worthy!!!” - Alan Robertson

”We had a wonderful time diving with Ocean Experiences. We did the 2 tank dive on their catamaran- the first was a dive navigating through kelp forests where we saw a few fishes, many lobsters, and an octopus. The second dive was a seal dive which was AMAZING. The seals were swimming all around us. One even came within inches of my face and opened its mouth. I thought it was going to eat me!
Ocean Experiences was professional and helpful, especially with the gear which, because of the cold water temps, was heavy and cumbersome. HIGHLY recommended company.” - adamrosie

”Did one dive with seals at Strawberry Rocks and have to say that it was a really special experience. Dive instructor was great and very professional, equipment was in perfect shape, had a detailed briefing and thus has a great diving experience in a safe environment.

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.
You’ll learn why diving with air that has a higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, along with enriched air equipment considerations. During a practical session, you’ll: discuss managing oxygen exposure, practice analyzing oxygen content in your scuba tank, set your dive computer for diving with enriched air nitrox.

Much of the world’s best scuba diving is only accessible only by boat. Whether you’ve made many boat dives or only have experience in alternative entries this course will educate you many ways because, in various parts of the world, certain types of boats do things differently. Scuba diving from a boat is fun and relatively easy because you usually descend directly onto your dive site, there is no need to carry heavy gear or swim long distances.
The PADI Boat Diver course will expand your knowledge about boats from small inflatables to large live boards. You’ll gain experience scuba diving by completing two dives from a boat in your local area and learn: Boat terminology, boat diving procedures and etiquette, including how to enter and exit, and where to stow your gear, boating safety, including how to locate safety equipment and more.
